Thanks to everyone that responded with help to my last question (reading 
command line parameters)...  I am away from home and don't have my TP 
manuals to look things up in like I would like to, and I wanted to say 
thanks to everyone...not one RTFM or any other flames...

I have one last question, and then I will have all I need...  I am executing 
a program from with my program (exec procedure) and then would like to read 
the ERRORLEVEL returned by the program ran by exec.  I've tried several 
things including     swapvectors; exec(comsp,comln); erlv := 
getenv('ERRORLEVEL'); swapvectors;  where comsp is the COMSPEC and comln is 
a command line assigned elsewhere.  I realize it may seem stupid this way, 
and it doesn't work, but I was grasping at straws trying anything I could 
think of.  The program run in the exec(comsp,comln) returns an errorlevel of 
1 or 0 depending on whether or not the program was successful...

is there a way to read that or am I out of luck on this one.

I'm still out of news access so please reply via email to the MN addresss 
below.

Thanks again for any assistance.

P.S.  I've gotten ParamStr and ParamCount running smoothly..thanks
 
Greg
